Celadon vase by Phil Rogers - 8" (203 mm) high.

Phil Rogers was born in South Wales in 1951. In 1977 he returned to Wales
after four years teaching art and ceramics in England to open his own pottery
at Rhayader.

The move to his current location, Cefn Faes Farm, came seven year later
in 1984. He built a 65 cu ft oil-fired downdraft kiln for the reduction
firing of stoneware, and a year later a 40 cu ft kiln for salt glazing.

Phil's specialities are salt glaze and reduced stoneware. He uses local
minerals and wood ash for his glazes. He has travelled the world giving
demonstrations, lectures and workshops, and is a popular author on ceramics.
He has recently made appearances on Harlech Television.

His work has been exhibited at the Victoria and Albert Museum; the National
Museum of Wales; Newport Museum; Buckinghamshire Museum; the City Museum,
Stoke-on-Trent; the Princesshof Museum, Netherlands; and the Keramic Museum,
Hohr Grentzhauzen, Germany. Phil is a fellow of the Craft Potters Association, and served four
consecutive terms as chairman from 1991 to 1994.
